Indonesian leader condemns Saudi maid 'torture'
(AFP) – 1 day ago

JAKARTA — Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on Tuesday demanded justice for what he described as the "extraordinary torture" of an Indonesian maid in Saudi Arabia.

Sumiati Binti Salan Mustapa, 23, is in a stable condition in a hospital in Medina, where she has been receiving treatment since November 8 for wounds including gashes to her lips and face caused by scissors, officials said.

An angry Yudhoyono said he would dispatch a team to Saudi Arabia to follow up on the case, a day after the Indonesian government summoned the Saudi ambassador to express its deep concern.

"I want to convey the very shocking news about what happened to an Indonesian in Saudi Arabia," Yudhoyono told a cabinet meeting.

"I have instructed the foreign minister to handle it seriously. Sumiati was subjected to extraordinary torture. I want justice to be upheld. I want all-out diplomacy," he said.

Sumiati was allegedly cut with scissors and burned with an iron by her employers, in the latest in a string of abuse cases against Indonesian workers in the Middle East and neighbouring Malaysia.

The young woman from Dompu in West Nusa Tenggara province went to Saudi Arabia four months ago to look for work, joining thousands of Indonesian men and women who do manual labour in the kingdom.

Her treatment has strained relations between the two mainly Muslim countries in the middle of the hajj, Islam's most important pilgrimage when some two million Muslims descend on Saudi Arabia from around the world.

"Yesterday we called the Saudi ambassador to the foreign ministry ... We conveyed our stand and condemned what happened," Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa told reporters.

"The Saudi government also condemned it and considered the action to be inappropriate and a violation of humanity. Together, we'll ensure that the party responsible is punished."

Sumiati had suffered "torture of an extraordinary nature" which left her with external and internal injures, he added.

Natalegawa said similar cases of abuse had "happened repeatedly" in Saudi Arabia, and Jakarta wanted to make sure steps were taken to protect Indonesian domestic workers in future.

An Indonesian consulate official in Saudi Arabia was quoted in the Jakarta Globe newspaper as saying the jealous wife of Sumiati's employer was suspected of inflicting the injuries.

"From the picture on her passport Sumiati is pretty. The wife tortured her because of jealousy," the official, Didi Whayudi was quoted as saying.

"The victim was not treated in an Islamic way."

Indonesia's outrage at the abuse of Sumiati stands in contrast to its muted official response to widespread allegations of torture by its own security forces against peaceful political activists and other detainees.

Human rights groups accuse the Indonesian military of killings, murder, torture and abuse of Papua's ethnic Melanesian majority and separatists in the Maluku islands.

In the latest incident, soldiers were caught on video torturing Papuan civilians earlier this year but no one has been held responsible.

This is just beyond me how cruel and sadistic these people are. Long time ago I remember some Indonesian, filipino maids used to wish so badly that they work for a Somali family knowing that they would be treated humanely! Most of the somali families in Arab countries are Reer Waqooyi and they treat maids so nicely and humanely and never oppress them! But these scoundrels are something else really

[shidow1]

This mother fuckers I hate them.....Arab are the worst humans you can ever find.....

[The_Patriot]

dude tell me something different that Arabs have done that is not equivalent to somali brutality?

Arabs are better than Somalis thats a fact.

[RuralMan08]

^^ Dude how on earth are you going to compare a nation which is at peace to a nation ravaged by war? That isnt a level playing field.

In regards to Somali brutality, tell me one Somali family out of the thousands who could force a maid to swallow needles down her throat?

If the roles were reversed and Saudi Arabia was at civil war, they would have done unimaginable things to eachother, just look at Lebanon, not too long ago they were animals. For fokk sake, the Americans have to send detainees to Arabs to get tortured professionally.

who created the peace? Its the people right?
So somalia took the other choice and is that not being Xayawan?

dude you are talking about needles and do you actualy know what used to happen in Xamar for the past 15 yrs?
swallowing needles will just be a minor offense.

I will advise you do not throw stones at peoples houses if yours is made of glass.

It's good to see the countries of these maids finally standing up for themselves. India did the same in the UAE recently.

Man your argument wont hold credence simply because a country in civil war cannot be compared to one without! How about we compare Lebanon in civil war and Somalia in civil war and see the big difference.

If we analyse Lebanon it was just war crime after war crime in every single city! Women were raped, mass killings etc.

Whilst Somalia, the war crimes were reduced mainly to one area i.e Mogadishu. If we analyse the civil war in the North (Somaliland), the fighting was brutal and there was a lot of execution of prisoners, but no woman was raped, nobody was systematically tortured. Even the SNM when they captured soldiers of Siad Barre, they were either executed or kept in confinement. No torture. If we go back to Mogadishu it is very clear that inhumane things occured there during the civil war however it was a walk in the park compared to what Lebanese, Egyptian, Iraqi civilians went through!

Walaalo stop looking for excuse?
does it make it right for you to behave like an animal and kill people when you visit Somalia and then behave civil when you are in a country lets say USA?

Somalis made a choice and the choice was to kill each other like animals cos the act is being perpetrated by Somalis not machines or zombies or natural calamity.
U did not do justice to the Arabs either ? I mean one person torturing a maid and you group all Arabs in the same box while you try to lookf for excuse for Somali Savagery?

This is something of a natural phenomenon in Arab countries. I can confidently say that over 80% of Gulf Arab families mistreat their maids and perhaps 50% of those are tortured routinely. Sxb it has nothing to do with savagery of war. It is a cultural issue/problem. These Ayrabs really assume that they are better than those whom they are responsible for looking after. As a human rights advocate myself, I am not myself expecting them to be angels but sadistic behaviour such as this is intolerable whereas in a country raging in civil war is completely different. A country in civil war is EXPECTED to commit inhumane acts, has any of this ever happened in pre-war Somalia? Go ask your family!

Somali families in these countries are a testament to how refined and humane they are! Im not saying Somalis are perfect creatures, they lack many things but one thing I will not be convinced of is that Somalis are sadistic. Maybe reer Xamar are but not those who come from my region!

[The_Patriot]

What do you mean reer Xamar?
Do you mean reer Konfur?

Anigu my motto is lets not be escapists lets face the reality and the reality is we have no right to talk about Arabs cos we are in the 1st place in deep shit.

Saudis has been abusing poor maids for decades and no one hardly speaks up, atleast something good came out of this cruel torture.

Why is the topic starter generalizing all Arabs? Somalida qarkood waxay qaban Arab phobia, Carabta have their good, bad, and the ugly, like any other countries do.

[Cirwaaq]

Indonesians in the middle east estimated at 2.5 million, and remittances at $12.5 billion per year.

Damn Damn Damn

80million Ethiopians survive on 2billion in Aid per year.

Now we know why these far eastern countries are developing so fast, they are stripping hard cash out of Filthy rich arabs.

This is called a balanced view
